DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers are either there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while drunk or high down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
